Fell asleep at 9pm, awake at 11:15pm to deal with toddler who is not sleeping (no idea why - maybe illness, maybe bad dreams, who knows). Toddler whimpered pretty much continuously from 11:30-1:20am so I did not sleep. Now it’s 3:25 and I still haven’t slept (pregnant with insomnia, yay) and I have to get up in 5 min to travel to an all day workshop in another city and won’t be home until 10:30pm. The travel and workshop were paid for by employer and I don’t think there are any professional consequences for me not going. Only consequence is guilt over wasted expense and not following through on my commitments and not getting the workshop info which I do think would be valuable.
Do I power through and go or stay home and sleep?
ETA: thanks everyone for the commiseration. Typing the situation out here helped get me up and moving. I may be sitting in the back of the room nursing my decaf latte all day but I will be there and am taking the day off tomorrow!
